Hi Melissa! To be honest, I only did them for a few weeks and stopped cause I was feeling better and my partner wasn't hearing me stop breathing anymore. So I would say they worked quite well for me.Melissa Ferrin wrote:Heather, how are you doing with the exercises six months out?

Of course. It's so frustrating being exhausted after sleep and especially when you don't even know why. I hope you find some answers and get some refreshing sleep soon!Melissa Ferrin wrote:Thanks for the detailed reply Heather!
I have not been diagnosed with anything. but just starting to try to figure out why I'm exhausted every morning. I have several relatives with sleep apnea so this caught my eye.
I live in a fairly rural area of Southern Mexico and haven't really found a general doctor who I feel is comprehensive, So trying to do a bit of research into possible causes in preparation for seeing a doctor.

It also gives you the ability to keep track of patterns, It could give you some clues and possibly help you see if changes you're making make a difference.

It both records and broadcasts the heart rhythm to my health care provider so we can make some plans in July. I'm not inclined to want to take any kind of drastic action, but at least we will have some understanding of what my heart is doing through all of this, both during the day and at night.

He's not terribly overweight has maybe a bit of a belly, doesn't drink any alcohol, takes magnesium every night, takes ashwagandha, but so far the CPAP machine is the only thing that works for him. Years ago we even got mad device which cost a lot of money and all he got out of that after using it for a few years is that now he has terrible TMJ on top of everything else.

I think many of the common items have been talked about already. Losing weight, special exercises, reducing stress, etc.
One item that I believe has greatly helped my sleep (I was not officially diagnosed with sleep apnea, but I suspected, based on my experience and reading) was magnesium. Magnesium is used in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, particularly around muscles being able to relax and contract properly.
